All the blue of the sky

Emily, a young man who turned 26, was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease. The doctors estimated that his memory would not last more than two years, so Emily decided to embark on one last journey, fleeing from the hospital, out of compassion for his family and friends. He published an advertisement searching for a companion to share this final journey. To his surprise, he received a response from a girl named Joan, whose only belongings were a backpack and a large black hat, with no explanation for her presence. And so begins an amazing journey of beauty. At every turn of this journey, through meeting others and discovering oneself, joy, fear, friendship, and love gradually emerge, piercing through Emily’s shell of pain. A lively and alert writing style, flawless dialogues, honest and beloved characters, leading us to an unexpected ending full of emotions. We do not come out of this touching and wonderful story the same as we were, written skillfully by Melissa Da Costa.
